Security

Traditional Teslin substrate products and new Teslin security grade materials afford a unique set of benefits to optimize the durability, security, and performance of: 

– E-Passports 
– Security cards and e-cards
– Identification credentials and breeder documents such as social security cards, birth certificates, drivers licenses, voter registrations, visas, national IDs 
– RFID tags and labels for logistics (tracking, tracing, and locating)
– Packaging (e.g., pharmaceutical products) 
– Product branding / brand authentication

 or embossing capability
– Extends the service life of e-passports, e-cards, and RFID cards, tags and labels by cushioning and protecting antennas and integrated chips (ICs)
– Resists tearing, abrasion, and chemical attack 
– Provides thermal stability required for in-mold packaging applications
– Can be readily printed with photos, microtext, bar codes, and security inks using a variety of technologies including security printing and digital personalization 
– Forms adhesive bonds that are 2-10X as strong as those of paper or other plastics, resisting delamination 
– Offers the flexibility of platen or high-throughput roll lamination
